Collection Highlights
The Agnes Etherington Art Centre's permanent collection contains more than 14,000 works of fine art, decorative art, and ethnographic artefacts. It is regarded as the premier university collection in Canada. This site links you to collection highlights selected by our curators. Each object is illustrated and includes an informative text situating it within the artist's work and its cultural context.
Currently, some 400 objects from the Art Centre's holdings are featured here including Canadian historical and contemporary art, European paintings and works on paper, African art and decorative arts. This site gives you the opportunity to see works that may not be currently on view in our galleries. New additions to our database will be added on a regular basis. We invite you to browse through images or search for specific works using keywords to discover the richness of our collection.
